honestly, if you cant come up with a grand, dont buy an audi. I could pay the 875... I just dont want to :P I obviously dont want to deplete my money on a frickin air pump... i'll wait till i have a bit more saved, past the 875, then do it. (well, it wont cost 875, i'll prolly do it myself) -- but yes, they are expensive to fix, and yes, that is the bottom line.

 

Once it gets out of warranty most independent mechanics who know what they are doing and worth going to charge 80-100 an hour for labor alone...including diagnostic work...I love my 02 A4 and will always have an Audi in the driveway from here on out...I think with a lip and some wheels the B6 is a great looking car...can't really justify a body kit in Michigan where roads are crappy and so is the weather...but done right they also add to the car...

 

I've had my 98.5 since last august and so far haven't had any electrical problems.

I just picked up a white manual 2003 (B6) A4 FWD with 16,000 miles three weeks ago from a local car lot. It's a great car! And to make it even better, I get free service until 2008 or 50,000 miles. This is the perfect car for me.
I did have a problem wit the trunk lock, but the dealer ordered the parts and installed as promised.

 

I've had my 2000 B5 1.8 since May (i think) and i love the damn car to death!!!! No real problems...except for that damn buzz from inside..still havnt figured it out yet!! AHH

look at the service records see what has been done on the B5 BTW the B6's have the same problems as the B5's control arms are not if they will go its when will they go timing belt services is just part of the regular maintance let use know what has been done on the service records if there arn't any back away from the vehicle

BTW NO BODY KITS THESE ARE NOT HONDA CIVICS
